CRM-M-6179-2017 -2admitted to regular bail.

The bail application is vehemently opposed by learned counsel appearing on behalf of the respondent-State.

I have heard learned counsel for the parties. The trial is likely to take some time as out of 21 witnesses, 11 witnesses are yet to be examined. The witnesses who have been examined as on date have not supported the prosecution case. Therefore, without commenting anything on the merits of the case, petitioner be released on regular bail on furnishing his bail bonds/sureties to the satisfaction of Duty Magistrate/Illaqa Magistrate/trial Court, concerned. Criminal miscellaneous application stands disposed of. 24.07.2017 (JAISHREE THAKUR) Satyawan JUDGE Whether speaking/reasoned Yes.

Whether reportable No.
